A reversal of fortunes upstream on the Missouri River
October 30, 2009
The Missouri River draws from a lot of tributaries throughout the Upper Midwest, including the James River in South Dakota. The James is at an
unusually high late-season flow condition right now, and the evidence points to a continued high flow situation for some time to come. This could end up contributing to
high flows on the Missouri River, which just a few years ago was
well below normal, to a point of considerable concern for communities like
Kansas City, which rely on the river to provide municipal water.
